Sitemaps
Here's a quick way to create a sitemap in movable type (should work for 3.x, I've got it here on 4).
Create a new index template, save it as sitemap.xml (other names can work fine too if you want), then paste in the following:
When you have that in place, go to the google webmaster tools to submit your sitemap, and add your rss feed while you're at it.
Create a new index template, save it as sitemap.xml (other names can work fine too if you want), then paste in the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
<url>
<loc><$MTBlogURL encode_xml="1"$></loc>
<priority>1.0</priority>
</url>
<MTEntries lastn="9999">
<url>
<loc><$MTEntryPermalink encode_xml="1"$></loc>
<lastmod><$MTEntryModifiedDate utc="1" format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"$></lastmod>
</url>
</MTEntries>
</urlset>
If you have any other specific pages you want to add, you can just put in an explicit <url> record, with a priority from 0 to 1.0, one receiving the most attention. You can also add a changefreq [daily|weekly|monthly] to help crawlers know when to look.When you have that in place, go to the google webmaster tools to submit your sitemap, and add your rss feed while you're at it.
